Just weeks after confirming a reunion tour, Rilo Kiley have expanded their tour and announced a new compilation album.
After having their plans for a reunion tour announcement prematurely leaked due to an early reveal of the lineup to California’s Just Like Heaven festival, Rilo Kiley officially confirmed their comeback in early February by detailing a ten-date run of U.S. shows.
“It’s going to be wonderful for us, like going back to the purest version of yourself, that early 20s place where everything is possible,” explained vocalist Jenny Lewis. “You’re in a van and Jason’s got the map, Pierre is behind the wheel, and I’m on the shitty acoustic guitar on the bench seat working out a new song with Blake. I don’t think it’s ever been as good as that, when it was just us against the world.”
Dubbed the Sometimes When You’re On, You’re Really Fucking On Tour in honor of their track “A Better Son/Daughter,” the tour’s announcement also came accompanied by word the band would be reissuing their second album, The Execution of All Things. This new version – subtitled the Frozen Lake Edition – will arrive via Saddle Creek Records on April 25.
Now, the band have expanded their plans further, continuing their reunion with an additional series of shows in September. Expanding their original run with an extra date in Seattle on May 24, Rilo Kiley will reconvene after summer and perform 13 shows throughout September. Few support acts have been announced for the upcoming gigs, with the band’s May date at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre seeing them joined by Julien Baker and Torres, and their performance at Raleigh’s Red Hat Amphitheater featuring the Mountain Goats.
“Planning this reunion over these past months has been like reconnecting with family. We haven’t missed a beat,” bassist Pierre de Reeder said in a statement. “The stakes are only to have a good time, to revel in this nostalgia. Getting to revisit and celebrate the music from that special time of our lives while experiencing it alongside a lot of people that lived it with us back when, and new folks alike.”
The new dates have also been paired news of a new greatest hits-style compilation album, with That’s How We Choose to Remember It scheduled to arrive via Saddle Creek on May 9.
Rilo Kiley first formed in 1998 with actress and musician Lewis joined by Reeder, guitarist Blake Sennett and drummer Dave Rock. Jason Boesel would replace rock in 2001.
The group rose to fame throughout the ’00s, releasing a total of four albums, including their 2001 debut Take Offs and Landings and its 2002 follow-up The Execution of All Things. While 2004’s More Adventurous would give them their debut on the Billboard 200 (albeit at No. 161), 2007 album Under the Blacklight was their most commercially successful, reaching No. 22 on the charts.
The group would play their final show in June 2008, later announcing they had embarked upon a hiatus. In 2013, however, it was confirmed they had in fact disbanded. During their hiatus, Lewis focused on her solo career, releasing a total of four albums since 2008, and reuniting with The Postal Service for shows in 2013 and 2023.
